Emacs w3m exports selected area as text

Question

How to copy text from emacs-w3m when content is placed in a table? It is currently also copying table formatting and borders. Is there any export as text for w3m?

Answer 1

No. w3m.el uses the w3m browser to render web pages, dropping text into the Emacs buffer. Tables do not have any additional formatting associated with them, so Emacs does not have the ability to distinguish them from the surrounding text.

The only solution is to write your own code to filter out the formatting and borders of the table. There is no ready-made solution.
